Constructs a File for a given path. This operation never fails, but the returned object might not support any I/O operation if path is malformed.

Constructs a File for a given URI. This operation never fails, but the returned object might not support any I/O operation if uri is malformed or if the uri type is not supported.

Creates a File with the given argument from the command line. The value of arg can be either a URI, an absolute path or a relative path resolved relative to the current working directory. This operation never fails, but the returned object might not support any I/O operation if arg points to a malformed path.

Constructs a File with the given name (i.e. something given by fileParseName. This operation never fails, but the returned object might not support any I/O operation if the parseName cannot be parsed.

Compare two file descriptors for equality. This test is also used to implement the '(==)' function, that is, comparing two descriptions will compare their content, not the pointers to the two structures.

Gets the base name (the last component of the path) for a given File.

If called for the top level of a system (such as the filesystem root or a uri like sftp: will return a single directory separator (and on Windows, possibly a drive letter).

The base name is a byte string (*not* UTF-8). It has no defined encoding or rules other than it may not contain zero bytes. If you want to use filenames in a user interface you should use the display name that you can get by requesting the FileAttributeStandardDisplayName attribute with fileQueryInfo.

This call does no blocking i/o.

Gets the local pathname for File, if one exists.

This call does no blocking i/o.

Checks if file has a parent, and optionally, if it is parent.

If parent is Nothing then this function returns True if file has any parent at all. If parent is non-Nothing then True is only returned if file is a child of parent.

Gets the URI for the file.

This call does no blocking i/o.

Gets the parse name of the file. A parse name is a UTF-8 string that describes the file such that one can get the File back using fileParseName.

This is generally used to show the File as a nice full-pathname kind of string in a user interface, like in a location entry.

For local files with names that can safely be converted to UTF8 the pathname is used, otherwise the IRI is used (a form of URI that allows UTF8 characters unescaped).

This call does no blocking i/o.

Gets a child of file with basename equal to name.

Note that the file with that specific name might not exist, but you can still have a File that points to it. You can use this for instance to create that file.

This call does no blocking i/o.

Gets the child of file for a given 'name (i.e. a UTF8 version of the name)'. If this function fails, it throws a GError. This is very useful when constructing a File for a new file and the user entered the filename in the user interface, for instance when you select a directory and type a filename in the file selector.

This call does no blocking i/o.

Checks whether file has the prefix specified by prefix. In other word, if the names of inital elements of files pathname match prefix. Only full pathname elements are matched, so a path like foo is not considered a prefix of foobar, only of foobar.

This call does no i/o, as it works purely on names. As such it can sometimes return False even if file is inside a prefix (from a filesystem point of view), because the prefix of file is an alias of prefix.

Gets the path for descendant relative to parent.

This call does no blocking i/o.

Resolves a relative path for file to an absolute path.

This call does no blocking i/o.

Checks to see if a file is native to the platform.

A native file s one expressed in the platform-native filename format, e.g. "C:Windows" or "usrbin/". This does not mean the file is local, as it might be on a locally mounted remote filesystem.

On some systems non-native files may be available using the native filesystem via a userspace filesystem (FUSE), in these cases this call will return False, but fileGetPath will still return a native path.

This call does no blocking i/o.

Checks to see if a File has a given URI scheme.

This call does no blocking i/o.

Gets the URI scheme for a File. RFC 3986 decodes the scheme as:

URI = scheme ":" hier-part [ "?" query ] [ "#" fragment ]

Common schemes include "file", "http", "ftp", etc.

This call does no blocking i/o.

Opens a file for reading. The result is a FileInputStream that can be used to read the contents of the file.

If cancellable is not Nothing, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IoErrorCancelled will be returned.

If the file does not exist, the IoErrorNotFound error will be returned. If the file is a directory, the IoErrorIsDirectory error will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on.

Asynchronously opens file for reading.

For more details, see fileRead which is the synchronous version of this call.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call fileReadFinish to get the result of the operation.

Finishes an asynchronous file read operation started with fileReadAsync.

Gets an output stream for appending data to the file. If the file doesn't already exist it is created.

By default files created are generally readable by everyone, but if you pass FileCreatePrivate in flags the file will be made readable only to the current user, to the level that is supported on the target filesystem.

If cancellable is not Nothing, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IoErrorCancelled will be returned.

Some file systems don't allow all file names, and may return an IoErrorInvalidFilename error. If the file is a directory the IoErrorIsDirectory error will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on.

Creates a new file and returns an output stream for writing to it. The file must not already exist.

By default files created are generally readable by everyone, but if you pass FileCreatePrivate in flags the file will be made readable only to the current user, to the level that is supported on the target filesystem.

If cancellable is not Nothing, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IoErrorCancelled will be returned.

If a file or directory with this name already exists the IoErrorExists error will be returned. Some file systems don't allow all file names, and may return an IoErrorInvalidFilename error, and if the name is to long IoErrorFilenameTooLong will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on.

Returns an output stream for overwriting the file, possibly creating a backup copy of the file first. If the file doesn't exist, it will be created.

This will try to replace the file in the safest way possible so that any errors during the writing will not affect an already existing copy of the file. For instance, for local files it may write to a temporary file and then atomically rename over the destination when the stream is closed.

By default files created are generally readable by everyone, but if you pass FileCreatePrivate in flags the file will be made readable only to the current user, to the level that is supported on the target filesystem.

If cancellable is not Nothing, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IoErrorCancelled will be returned.

If you pass in a non-Nothing etag value, then this value is compared to the current entity tag of the file, and if they differ an IoErrorWrongEtag error is returned. This generally means that the file has been changed since you last read it. You can get the new etag from fileOutputStreamGetEtag after you've finished writing and closed the FileOutputStream. When you load a new file you can use fileInputStreamQueryInfo to get the etag of the file.

If makeBackup is True, this function will attempt to make a backup of the current file before overwriting it. If this fails a IoErrorCantCreateBackup error will be returned. If you want to replace anyway, try again with makeBackup set to False.

If the file is a directory the IoErrorIsDirectory error will be returned, and if the file is some other form of non-regular file then a IoErrorNotRegularFile error will be returned. Some file systems don't allow all file names, and may return an IoErrorInvalidFilename error, and if the name is to long IoErrorFilenameTooLong will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on.

For more details, see fileCreate which is the synchronous version of this call.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call fileCreateFinish to get the result of the operation.

Finishes an asynchronous file create operation started with fileCreateAsync.

Asynchronously overwrites the file, replacing the contents, possibly creating a backup copy of the file first.

For more details, see fileReplace which is the synchronous version of this call.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call fileReplaceFinish to get the result of the operation.

Finishes an asynchronous file replace operation started with fileReplaceAsync.

Gets the requested information about specified file. The result is a FileInfo object that contains key-value attributes (such as the type or size of the file).

The attribute value is a string that specifies the file attributes that should be gathered. It is not an error if it's not possible to read a particular requested attribute from a file - it just won't be set. attribute should be a comma-separated list of attribute or attribute wildcards. The wildcard "*" means all attributes, and a wildcard like "standard::*" means all attributes in the standard namespace. An example attribute query be "standard::*,user". The standard attributes are available as defines, like FileAttributeStandardName.

If cancellable is not Nothing, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IoErrorCancelled will be returned.

For symlinks, normally the information about the target of the symlink is returned, rather than information about the symlink itself. However if you pass FileQueryInfoNofollowSymlinks in flags the information about the symlink itself will be returned. Also, for symlinks that point to non-existing files the information about the symlink itself will be returned.

If the file does not exist, the IoErrorNotFound error will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on.

Asynchronously gets the requested information about specified file. The result is a FileInfo object that contains key-value attributes (such as type or size for the file).

For more details, see fileQueryInfo which is the synchronous version of this call.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call fileQueryInfoFinish to get the result of the operation.

Finishes an asynchronous file info query. See fileQueryInfoAsync.

Utility function to check if a particular file exists. This is implemented using fileQueryInfo and as such does blocking I/O.

Note that in many cases it is racy to first check for file existence and then execute something based on the outcome of that, because the file might have been created or removed in between the operations. The general approach to handling that is to not check, but just do the operation and handle the errors as they come.

As an example of race-free checking, take the case of reading a file, and if it doesn't exist, creating it. There are two racy versions: read it, and on error create it; and: check if it exists, if not create it. These can both result in two processes creating the file (with perhaps a partially written file as the result). The correct approach is to always try to create the file with fileCreate which will either atomically create the file or fail with a IoErrorExists error.

However, in many cases an existence check is useful in a user interface, for instance to make a menu item sensitive/ insensitive, so that you don't have to fool users that something is possible and then just show and error dialog. If you do this, you should make sure to also handle the errors that can happen due to races when you execute the operation.

Utility function to inspect the FileType of a file. This is implemented using fileQueryInfo and as such does blocking I/O.

The primary use case of this method is to check if a file is a regular file, directory, or symlink.

Similar to fileQueryInfo, but obtains information about the filesystem the file is on, rather than the file itself. For instance the amount of space available and the type of the filesystem.

The attribute value is a string that specifies the file attributes that should be gathered. It is not an error if it's not possible to read a particular requested attribute from a file - it just won't be set. attribute should be a comma-separated list of attribute or attribute wildcards. The wildcard "*" means all attributes, and a wildcard like "fs:*" means all attributes in the fs namespace. The standard namespace for filesystem attributes is "fs". Common attributes of interest are 'FILEAttributeFilesystemSize (The Total Size Of The Filesystem In Bytes)', 'FILEAttributeFilesystemFree (Number Of Bytes Available)', and FileAttributeFilesystemType (type of the filesystem).

If cancellable is not Nothing, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IoErrorCancelled will be returned.

If the file does not exist, the IoErrorNotFound error will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on.

Gets the requested information about the files in a directory. The result is a FileEnumerator object that will give out FileInfo objects for all the files in the directory.

The attribute value is a string that specifies the file attributes that should be gathered. It is not an error if it's not possible to read a particular requested attribute from a file - it just won't be set. attribute should be a comma-separated list of attribute or attribute wildcards. The wildcard "*" means all attributes, and a wildcard like "standard::*" means all attributes in the standard namespace. An example attribute query be "standard::*,user". The standard attributes are available as defines, like FileAttributeStandardName.

If cancellable is not Nothing, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IoErrorCancelled will be returned.

If the file does not exist, the IoErrorNotFound error will be returned. If the file is not a directory, the FileErrorNotdir error will be returned. Other errors are possible too.

For more details, see fileEnumerateChildren which is the synchronous version of this call.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call fileEnumerateChildrenFinish to get the result of the operation.

Finishes an async enumerate children operation. See fileEnumerateChildrenAsync.

Renames file to the specified display name.

The display name is converted from UTF8 to the correct encoding for the target filesystem if possible and the file is renamed to this.

If you want to implement a rename operation in the user interface the edit name (FileAttributeStandardEditName) should be used as the initial value in the rename widget, and then the result after editing should be passed to fileSetDisplayName.

On success the resulting converted filename is returned.

If cancellable is not Nothing, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IoErrorCancelled will be returned.

If cancellable is not Nothing, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IoErrorCancelled will be returned.

Sends file to the Trashcan, if possible. This is similar to deleting it, but the user can recover it before emptying the trashcan. Not all file systems support trashing, so this call can return the IoErrorNotSupported error.

If cancellable is not Nothing, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IoErrorCancelled will be returned.

Copies the file source to the location specified by destination. Can not handle recursive copies of directories.

If the flag FileCopyOverwrite is specified an already existing destination file is overwritten.

If the flag FileCopyNofollowSymlinks is specified then symlinks will be copied as symlinks, otherwise the target of the source symlink will be copied.

If cancellable is not Nothing, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IoErrorCancelled will be returned.

If progressCallback is not Nothing, then the operation can be monitored by setting this to a FileProgressCallback function. progressCallbackData will be passed to this function. It is guaranteed that this callback will be called after all data has been transferred with the total number of bytes copied during the operation.

If the source file does not exist then the IoErrorNotFound error is returned, independent on the status of the destination.

If FileCopyOverwrite is not specified and the target exists, then the error IoErrorExists is returned.

If trying to overwrite a file over a directory the IoErrorIsDirectory error is returned. If trying to overwrite a directory with a directory the IoErrorWouldMerge error is returned.

If the source is a directory and the target does not exist, or FileCopyOverwrite is specified and the target is a file, then the IoErrorWouldRecurse error is returned.

If you are interested in copying the File object itself (not the on-disk file), see fileDup.

Copies the file source to the location specified by destination asynchronously. For details of the behaviour, see fileCopy.

Finishes copying the file started with fileCopyAsync.

Throws a GError if an error occurs.

Tries to move the file or directory source to the location specified by destination. If native move operations are supported then this is used, otherwise a copy + delete fallback is used. The native implementation may support moving directories (for instance on moves inside the same filesystem), but the fallback code does not.

If the flag FileCopyOverwrite is specified an already existing destination file is overwritten.

If the flag FileCopyNofollowSymlinks is specified then symlinks will be copied as symlinks, otherwise the target of the source symlink will be copied.

If cancellable is not Nothing, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IoErrorCancelled will be returned.

If FileCopyOverwrite is not specified and the target exists, then the error IoErrorExists is returned.

If trying to overwrite a file over a directory the IoErrorIsDirectory error is returned. If trying to overwrite a directory with a directory the IoErrorWouldMerge error is returned.

If the source is a directory and the target does not exist, or FileCopyOverwrite is specified and the target is a file, then the IoErrorWouldRecurse error may be returned (if the native move operation isn't available).

Creates a directory. Note that this will only create a child directory of the immediate parent directory of the path or URI given by the File. To recursively create directories, see fileMakeDirectoryWithParents. This function will fail if the parent directory does not exist, setting error to IoErrorNotFound. If the file system doesn't support creating directories, this function will fail, setting error to IoErrorNotSupported.

For a local File the newly created directory will have the default (current) ownership and permissions of the current process.

If cancellable is not Nothing, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IoErrorCancelled will be returned.

If cancellable is not Nothing, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IoErrorCancelled will be returned.

Copies the file attributes from source to destination.

Normally only a subset of the file attributes are copied, those that are copies in a normal file copy operation (which for instance does not include e.g. owner). However if FileCopyAllMetadata is specified in flags, then all the metadata that is possible to copy is copied. This is useful when implementing move by copy + delete source.
